OF their callng-a ceremony which, 1t seems,
Is performed with solemnity at YoUNo's

startled by the following Always serve

Of this confession. but sure We are

whom we doubt not that YOUNG retains,

ness do we here obtain glimpse2 Must we
not assume that the devourer OF the be-
sueared tomato tucks his napkin In his
shirt collar and insists upon having within
easy and constant grasp a glass full OF
wooden or quill toothpicks2
The veteran arbiter Of YoUNa's dining
room, who must be presumed to have studied
with anxious attention the tastes and habits
OF Bostonians, proceeds to lay down the rule
that milk or cream and pulverized sugar ="
must be offered not only with berries, but
with watermelon, cantaloupe and musk
melon" New York readers do not need to

quaintance with the subject matter. from
questioning the dietetic aptness OF this COM

advocacy implies the exhibition Of baked
beans on Boston tables as the piece de
resistance in lieu Of roasted meats. For
those who like that sort OF dinner 1t is,
perhaps, a combination that men OF that
kind would like. But lot us hasten to

How Ia It to be explained that the Hon. DAN

there are now no Republican offlccholdcrs In

the political condition OF Georgia, while In
Massachusetts there should have been

This strange political contradiction be-
tween Massachusetts, In tho East and Geor-

not DO accounted for by tho difference OF
climate. Tho cast winds which cause the
Bostoniar bones to shvcr have not fro

can 1t DO explained by any political differ
ence between the Democrats OF Massachu-

evidently nil agree on the civil service. What
the Democrats Of Indiana and Georgia have,
the Massachusetts Democrats long for.
Yet the reason is political, and il confined
to tho politics distinctly connected with the
fortunes Of President CLEVELAND.
In Georgia and Indiana there are no Mug

It is beyond contradiction, then. that the

Table Service In Boston.

There is still current, We believe, in remote
Western regions, the legend that In Boston
we behold closer approximation to English
standards in habits, manners, and conven-
tional usages than In any other American
community. Thus, according to this myth,
Bostonians excel their fellow countrymen as
regards the regularity Of morning additions
In cold water and the punctilious observance
Of the etiquette of card leaving. Ger
tainly their complete mastery OF the
fundamental Laws OF well-served dinner
table has not hitherto been questioned
beyond the Mississippi. But alas! once
moro an idol has been shattered by the hand
OF its own minlstrant. 1t Is the &c cdthedra
avowaf OF tho Boston GLOBE which betrays
the fatal shortcomings OF the Puritan capital
In respect Of table refinement and good
sense. By the revelations lately made In
that authoritative journal and republlshed
in last Sundays SUN, the prestige Of Boston
Is extinguished even whore it fingered latest
from Omaha to Denver and from Kansas
City to Cheyenne.
The painful disclosures to which we have
adverted are made unconsciously in the re-
ported interview between Globe reporter
and the head waiter OF Young's Hotel. an
establishment well-known to most visitors
OF Boston and especially to Harvard gradu-
ates, not few Of whose GLASS anniversary

THAT RUM0R

There is rumor In and about the Int
rior Department that Brother B. j. F.
Hanna, formerly editor of the Salina
Herald, and subsequently Register of the
Wa-Keeney land office is now In hot water
over the settlement of his accounts. The
allegation is, that when he retired some
time since to give place to his democratic
successor, his accounts failed to adjust
themselves by some $4,000. and that his
bondsmen will be called upon to aante" if
the matter is not soon closed up to the
satisfaction of the department. It is init
mated, moreover, that settlement upon a
close construction of the law would bring
Mr.. Hanna indebted to the government
an additional 5000. The singular part
of this affair lies in the fact, that with this
hanging oyer bis head, Mr.. Hanna has
been at Washington vigorously fighting to
bring about the displacement of his sue
cessor, Mr.. Beard.
The above is from the Kansas City
Times of some three weeks ago.
On political, if not on personal
grounds, the WORLD owes it to Cap
tain Hanna to state that the Times
has absolutely nothing on which to
base an attack Of this nature. Had
the Times any care for its reputation
for knowledge it would have publish
ed no such a communication. Cap
tain Hanna, as register Of the land
office, handled no government money.
He was prohibited by law from
doing so. For this reason, there acas
no account betareea him and the gov-
erfament. This fact should show to
the bevy Of Democratic papers in
this land district, which have copied
as precious morsel this Times stuff,
just how bright they were.
While Captain Hanna was land
register, a fee of one dollar was due
him on each contest which was in
stituted. This was made by law his
due-an extra fee for an extra SER
vice, and no account was required to
be kept between him and the gov
eminent. Upon his retiring from
office, there were good many Of
these contests pending, upon which
notice of cancellation had not been
sent. Captain Hanna has, unsolicit-
ed by anybody, paid to Receiver Pill
kenton, for the government, several
hundred dollars of these fees, as final
disposition has been made Of the
cases. 1t is a strange thing to do,
but we understand that he persists in
refunding one dollar for each of these
cases which had not been finally dis
posed Of before his retirement from
office. .~-.
That the Times philadelphia
story is without the shadow of
foundation, any one with particle
of business sense will see with readi-
ness.
